The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from My Antonia by Willa Cather: I said I felt sure then that he was on his way back to his
own country, and that even now, when I passed his grave,
I always thought of him as being among the woods and fields
that were so dear to him.
Antonia had the most trusting, responsive eyes in the world;
love and credulousness seemed to look out of them with open faces.
`Why didn't you ever tell me that before? It makes me feel more
sure for him.' After a while she said: `You know, Jim, my father
was different from my mother. He did not have to marry my mother,
and all his brothers quarrelled with him because he did.
I used to hear the old people at home whisper about it.
